Announced today at Square Enix’s annual Final Fantasy XIV Fanfest, the popular online game’s third expansion, Shadowbringers, is coming early summer 2019. Expect an expansive story, a raised level cap and multiple new jobs—including one wielding a gunblade. And did somebody say playable Viera and Blue Mages?

Fortuna was released yesterday on PC, and is expected to arrive on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 in the near future. It’s too early to know whether Fortunat rights some of the wrongs made by last year’s expansion, Plains of Eidolon, when it first released, including it felt too isolated from the rest of the game.

World of Warcraft’s first major post-Battle for Azeroth content update, Tides of Vengeance, launches on December 11, but that’s not important right now. The update after that, Rise of Azshara, will take players to the naga home of Azjatar, the lost gnome city of Mechagon, and beyond.

Orcs. The craggly-faced brutes of the fantasy RPG world. Scarred by countless battles, these hideous creatures are the embodiment of brutality and violence. Unless they’re in Korean-developed mobile MMO Lineage 2 Revolution. Then they’re kind of hot.

Did you know EverQuest II has averaged at least one expansion pack a year since its 2004 launch? Today Daybreak announced EQII’s 15th expansion, Chaos Descending, goes live on Tuesday, November 13. Players can explore new elemental planes and start gearing and leveling up their mounts. Weird.

Frostpunk, a post-apocalyptic city builder, somehow manages to get even darker and more brutal in its latest expansion, a story-based scenario called The Fall of Winterhome. Rather than create and navigate my own messes, the game’s new scenario required me to clean up after somebody else’s with a feverish sense of…

Man, why did I waste two weeks questing through boring green hills for the Alliance when I could have been exploring dinosaur-infested swamps as a mighty Cowadin? Even in the middle of the Battle for Azeroth, the Horde have it good.

It’s been years since I gave a damn which World of Warcraft faction I was playing. Horde? Alliance? Whichever. But now, as the Battle for Azeroth expansion rapidly approaches and substantial chunks of the world are getting set on fire and plagued beyond habitation, it’s time I took a stand.

Ghost Recon Wildlands’ new Rainbow Six Siege cross-over mission is now live in the game as part of this week’s free Special Operation 2 update. In “Operation Archangel,” more extra-judicial, paramilitary stuff goes down in Bolivia as you assist Twitch and Valkyrie in finding a missing operator.

Yesterday, Enter the Gungeon finally received its long-awaited Advanced Gungeons & Draguns update, a free second major expansion that completely revitalizes the 2016 game. It feels like Dodge Rolls’ roguelike shoot’em up came out forever ago, but playing it again this week it feels completely new again.

Merciless martial arts brawler Absolver is getting a free expansion in September. The game’s developers announced today that it’ll include a new mode called Downfall, an additional combat style Faejin, more equipment, and a meta competition between players online whereby they can win prestige for their particular…

Warframe will get two expansions over the next two years, developer Digital Extremes said this weekend. The first, called Fortuna, includes a new cyberpunk-themed open-world area on Venus and will arrive before the end of the year. The second, planned for 2019, is an entirely new mode, currently called “Codename:…

It’s new Pokemon Trading Card Game expansion day, and fans are tearing into thousands of Sun & Moon Ultra Prism booster packs, searching for powerful new additions to their decks. I’ve only got four boosters, but no deck, so I like my odds.

Rainbow Six Siege players aren’t happy after Ubisoft announced the game’s next event, “Outbreak,” will include character items that can only be found in special new loot boxes. As you might imagine, longtime players are not thrilled.

Today Daybreak Studios launched Ring of Scale, the 24th expansion for EverQuest. Holy hell, 24 expansions. This one adds six zones and ups the game’s level cap to 110. Look at the trailer. That shit right there used to be my life.

To some, Final Fantasy XV’s multiplayer expansion pack is an entertaining (if mildly frustrating) way to experience Square Enix’s epic RPG with friends. For others, it’s a hell of a lot of work to find a decent dress shirt. I’m somewhere in between.
